Stlengis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean where they are only known from the waters around Japan.

Taxonomy

Stlengis was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1904, by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Edwin Chapin Starks^[1] when they described Stlengis osensis off Ose Point in Suruga Bay, Japan.^[2] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the genus Stlengis within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae,^[3] however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Oligocottinae of the family Psychrolutidae.^[1]

Species

There are currently three recognized species in this genus:^[4]

Stlengis distoechus Bolin, 1936
Stlengis misakia (Jordan & Starks, 1904)
Stlengis osensis Jordan & Starks, 1904
